Whoa! This is big fun. I might have to focus my whole Passion for Fashion blog on fashion in Second Life. I can be young and thin and wear whatever I’m willing to pay for.

I’ll begin at the beginning.

“Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely created by its Residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by millions of Residents from around the globe.

  • From the moment you enter the World you’ll discover a vast digital continent, teeming with people, entertainment, experiences and opportunity. Once you’ve explored a bit, perhaps you’ll find a perfect parcel of land to build your house or business.
  • You’ll also be surrounded by the Creations of your fellow Residents. Because Residents retain the rights to their digital creations, they can buy, sell and trade with other Residents.
  • The Marketplace currently supports millions of US dollars in monthly transactions. This commerce is handled with the in-world unit-of-trade, the Linden dollar, which can be converted to US dollars at several thriving online Linden Dollar exchanges. “

More technical stuff next week. Let’s look at some fashion! This is all from Second Life Fashionista blog/magazine, Issue 12.

“To the left on the photo there is the sunny Junknitz dress, a short sunflower yellow babydoll with the cutest leggings to go with them. In the middle there is my favourite, Water. All those different shades of blue with the contrasting yellow and gold tones, it is as easily combined with a pair of heavy duty boots for the kick ass look, as with some stilettos and jewelry for a more boho chique style. To the right you see Prairie which is just a lovely dress in warm natural colours. I love the green that designer Cristina Elvehjem came up with.”

You can even get skin and hair to match your outfit:

“Skin with all 3 outfits is the new limited Octobre 2 in Buff from Tete à Pied. The hair is from Truth Hawks. Pearly to match Junknitz, Sunday for Water and Toni Tail for Prairie.”
